They are both good drugs in terms of efficacy. They will both work really well! Dovato has less drugs and no TAF which is know to cause weight gain. I don’t need that so My Doctor prefers me on Dovato

Remember Genvoya has 4 chemicals and Biktarvy had 3 but Dovato has only 2 and does the same thing. Let me or your doctor know if you have any questions.
